I'm really impressed by the turbo couplers...are those all scratchbuilt? Nice job!

Great job on the build, and a nice Porsche as well! I saw this kit at my LHS the other day, I may have to pick it up soon as it looks like it'll build up into a nice model. I love 1:1 Edsels and I still regret not buying a Villager wagon that was for sale when I was in college.

That looks really fantastic so far. Saleen engine & trim? Cool. Work wheels? AWESOME. I'm a huge fan of Fox body Mustangs and i'd love to park this one in my garage!

Tom, does that come in a spraycan? Or is it airbrush only?

Well, I worked over the running boards more...sprayed some primer...looked okay...sprayed my colour coat...and the running boards came through again! Looks like I'll need to strip it and use some putty...but for now, enjoy this preview of the final colour! I'm not too concerned...this is a learning experience, and hey, it only cost me one night's worth of work. Now, a question...what do you guys recommend for spray-on chrome? I know it's not gonna be perfect, but it's gotta look better than silver spray paint...

Hi all, this is my first build in a long time and my first build on these forums. I picked the kit up on a whim on a slow and dreary Sunday and and this is where I am a few days later. The goal is to have it completed by November 6th, so that I can enter it in the IPMS show at Kirtland High School. I'm building it box stock with a few minor changes to the bodywork. I deleted the bumpers and I'm also planning on filling the holes for the cowl lights. Lastly, I've smoothed over the running boards. This effort to simplify the model reminds me of a conversation between Little Bill and Kurt in "Boogie Nights": "Jack wants a minimal thing..." "Right, well, very often, minimal means a lot more photographically than I think, well... than I think most people understand..." No kidding. I've spent innumerable hours filing and smoothing over every little imperfection in the body. But I see a light at the end of the tunnel and I think it's going to look great. I have a really dynamite colour picked out and, even if it gets passed over on the judge's table (very likely) it'll have a special place in my display case. Since the kit dates back to the '60s, I'm definitely going for that look with it. The end result will hopefully look like something off a Jan & Dean album cover. Without further ado, here is how she sits now: Hey, go easy on me. It's my first build.

Just another fanboy chiming into to say I love the Ford grille. Totally twisted idea, perfect execution. You guys are filling my head with all kinds of ideas.

This is really slick, I'm not usually a fan of highboys but I really dig the way the front resloves itself into a "vanishing point" from any angle. Killer job. Are you going to paint it the same colour as your reference?

I dig! Where did you get those smallblock Chevy Edelbrock valve covers? Also, did you chop the top or did it come like that?

Were you able to get the cab to sit flush with the bed on both sides? After some sanding mine is close but it's still a bit uneven on the driver's side. It probably helps that you're running fenderless...

I just picked this kit up to get myself back into modeling. I like what you've done with yours. Is that a gunmetal colour or does it have a green tint to it?
